Synopses & Reviews
Robyn Dehart, "a slushandndash;pile gem" continues in her whimiscal historical romance/mystery series involving the Ladies' Amateur Sleuth Society where the heroine always nabs the villain and gets the hero.
When Margaret "Meg" Piddington inadvertently stumbles into Gareth Mandeville's, Viscount Mandeville, arms at her father's confectionary, neither of them is aware she's providing him with the perfect alibi for a crime he'll later be accused of committing. He's darkly sensuous and from the very first kiss, she's hooked and vows to discover his secret and unlock his mystery. And in the meantime, she plans to steal as many kisses as she can get away with.
Gareth tries to keep his mind focused on clearing his name, but doing so proves more difficult than Gareth anticipated, because every move brings him closer and closer to Meg. She's with him every step of the way, causing him trouble, preventing him from doing his job, pulling strings to enable him to keep his job, and tempting him to want something he has no right to want.
Synopsis
When wildly independent Meg Piddington finds herself locked in her father's chocolate factory after hours with a most disarmingly attractive gentleman, she doesn't realize that she is his alibi—proof that Gareth Mandeville did not commit a dastardly crime. But admitting as much would destroy her reputation, which gallant Gareth refuses to do. Besides, he believes even prison would be preferable to marriage, which is what their revelation would certainly demand!
At last, here's the perfect opportunity for Meg to don her sleuthing hat to get to the root of the secretive stranger's troubles! Besides, the man sends oh-so-pleasant shivers coursing through her body. And though heaven may well await in Gareth's embrace, danger may dwell there also . . . if the determined lady embarks on a grand mission to win his love.
About the Author
Robyn DeHart always knew she wanted to be a writer, but it took a while to discover precisely what she wanted to write. Reading Kathleen Woodiwiss's A Rose in Winter sealed the deal, and she's been reading and writing romance ever since. She should have realized she was destined for this career when her Barbies insisted on hosting elaborate masquerade parties, complete with stolen kisses in the moonlight. Researching her novels is always exciting, but when it involves eating chocolate, it's especially sweet. She lives in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee, with her incredibly supportive husband and two very spoiled cats. She loves to hear from readers.
